with your comments. Enjoy!
January always signals “New Beginnings”. It is a psychological time to “start fresh”. For many, it is a time to lose all the weight gained during the holidays, or set other personal goals (New Year’s Resolutions). It can also be a time to recommit yourself to a disciplined study schedule for difficult classes or for the MCAT/DAT/GRE. Strong grades and test scores only get your foot “in the door”, to be given “consideration”. Only then, will schools read about your clinical experiences, service, leadership, research, hobbies, skills, jobs, adversities overcome, etc.
So, see how committed you really are; become a disciplined student!
Watch for new videos to be posted each month on our Facebook page, including helpful hints for the application process.
Do you really want to be competitive?
1. Plan ... ahead!
2. Address your weaknesses. What are they?
- Science GPA?
- Test (MCAT, DAT) scores, or do you need to take the test for the first time?
- Clinical experiences? How meaningful are they?
- Service? What did you do to help others?
- No close relationships with faculty?
And, how long will it take to really improve? One term? 2 years? Be realistic!
So, whatever quest you have, or issue you want to discuss, Dr. Lewis is the best person to use for personal and academic advice. She's been doing it for 27 years, and "has heard it all". Why don't you let her help you?
imaclewis@lewisassoc.com
This month's question on Dr. Lewis' Facebook page is: "How do I prepare to learn more about the Affordable Care Act and how it is changing U.S. medical practice?"
Getting into medical, dental, pharmacy and the other health professions schools is getting HARDER!
As usually happens in an economic downturn, more people are attracted to stable careers like the health professions…competition is fierce!
How are YOU going to stand out from thousands of applicants?
Warning about student-run websites from Cornell Medical School Admissions staff:
"PLEASE do not encourage students to get information from web sites
administered by other students. From time to time, I look up the studentdoctor.net
site (for interview ratings) and I am appalled at the amount of misinformation
there. Most of the information given there will hurt students more than
help them."
Sick of rumors and false reports? Lewis Associates website has factual information that you can trust.

Testimonials
Gail Ruth, mother of Todd Ruth, Entering Class of
2010, Jefferson University Medical School
Just a short note here to let you know how appreciative we are
of all the wonderful help you gave to our son, Todd. He just received
his first 2 acceptances from his top choices, so we couldn't be more pleased.!
You were instrumental in guiding him as to which courses to take and gave
him invaluable help with his essays. Thanks once again for all your help
and guidance.
David and Maureen Lee, parents of Eric Lee, Entering Class of
2009, Saint Louis University School of Medicine
June, 2009: "Dr. Lewis, We just wanted to drop you a quick
note to say thank you for all of your strategic guidance, wise counsel,
encouragement, and mentoring to our son Eric on his journey to get into
medical school. That is quite a process!! Eric definitely took the "road
less traveled", majoring in philosophy, but he worked really hard
to get his science prerequisites under his belt. He benefited so much
from your experience, insight, and when needed, "tough love".
You kept him on track, and we thank you. We think he will be an excellent
physician. Perhaps some day we will meet. Again with gratitude, David
and Maureen Lee."
Michael Nevarez, Entering Class of 2006, Harvard University School
of Medicine, his first choice school
"Dr. Lewis was a wonderful guide and mentor as I embarked
on a medical career a number of years after graduating from Cal Poly (graduated
2001, applied to med school in 2006). She gave an honest assessment of
the strengths and weaknesses of my profile, and more importantly provided
specific and personalized ways in which I could address
my application and the process going forward. Her advice and experience
was invaluable and I am very happy to have worked with her."
Margaret Jolley, Entering Class of 2008, UC San Diego School of
Medicine, her first choice school
"I never would've made it without my weekly conference with the calm,
experienced Dr. Lewis. She kept me sane. I am so grateful for her guidance,
for her editing help, and for the confidence she instilled in me. She
is a genuinely caring committed Mentor who takes pride in helping our
dreams happen. I have urged every fellow student I know to call her. Let
her help you, too!"
Austin Yoder, Entering Class of 2009, Accepted to Uniformed
Services University for Health Sciences, Philadelphia Osteopathic-GA,
West Virginia Osteopathic, Tennessee Osteopathic, and
Kansas City Osteopathic
"I am utterly grateful to Dr. Lewis for all her help, guidance and
mentorship through the application process. I owe a great deal of my success
to date to her team."
Ariel Chairez, Entering Class 2004, Scholarship Awardee, University
of Wisconsin Medical School
"Dr. Lewis, I would like to thank you for all of your help.
Without your guidance, I would not have been accepted
into medical school this year. I am extremely happy to have been accepted
to one of the top medical schools in the country, and to have received
a scholarship of $130,000. For any student who questions the value
of your services, I can say that you have saved me $130,000 in tuition!
Thank you."
John Fiszer (Lawyer), Entering Class of 2005,
University Of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine
Dr. Lewis' note: John was an Assistant State's Prosecuting Attorney in
Chicago, Illinois, when he contacted me in 2004. Finishing his 4th year
of medical school, he said: "I am really enjoying med school, and
I am thankful to Dr. Lewis for her help. Her methodical, disciplined approach
to the med school application process, as well as her insight into the
transition to med school were right on target."
Ali Warrick, Advisee
"Dear Dr. Lewis,
I appreciate your help in my transfer process to UC Berkeley. You have
been an integral part of the transition, and I would like to thank you
for your time and efforts. I know that your work is very thorough
and well thought out. In addition, I believe that you really care about
your students, and believe in each student's "right fit" in
a school. You lead many people toward a brighter future, and I would like
to say, 'Thank You!' for your contribution toward my academic goals. This
process has been much more enjoyable with your guidance. Thank you for
being so good at what you do."
S, Entering Class 2008, accepted with full scholarship
to Mayo Medical School
"I cannot thank Dr. Lewis enough for her support and invaluable advice.
When I came to her, I was apprehensive about the formidable task of applying
to medical school especially with my past academic and personal hardships.
She helped me see that overcoming these difficulties was a testament to
my strength, dedication, and diligence. One of the most surprising outcomes
of our relationship was that she was effective in helping me develop a
more positive self-image and conquer many of my insecurities. Without
her guidance and letter of evaluation, I would not have been able to earn
an acceptance to Mayo Medical School, which granted me a merit scholarship
that covers almost all of my tuition. I truly appreciate all of her help.
She went above and beyond her role as an Advisor by becoming a Mentor
to me. She is absolutely the best in the business!"
Be Competitive
In order to be a competitive Class of 2015 or 2016 applicant,
you need to submit a quality application as evaluated by your clinical,
service and other experiences and your GPA-MCAT/DAT/GRE, etc. profile
in a timely fashion. This requires a well thought-out strategy to carry
you through the difficult year-long application process. If you use Dr.
Lewis' advising, we begin preparation early in the year BEFORE submission
of your application!
EARLY is always better, removes much of the pressure, and allows time to solve unforeseen problems and challenges.

but do not know how to begin, or how to jump over all those hurdles, Lewis
Associates will advise you and implement strategies to change your life.

Family medicine lures with variety, strong relationships, growing influence
Most family physicians treat patients of all ages who have all manner of conditions. "I tell students that in family medicine, you can tailor your practice to whatever you want," says Nancy Bono, DO. "In this profession, you don't get bored because it incorporates so much.”

success story
 Jessica Nordlund, PhD Jessica Nordlund, PhD, Entering Class of 2006, International Masters Program in Cell and Molecular Biology, PhD Program in Molecular Medicine at Uppsala University, Sweden I met Dr. Lewis through the Collegiate Union for Health Related Education (CUHRE) my first year at San Diego State University. Coming from a small, rural high school in Northern California, I found myself completely and utterly overwhelmed by the fast pace and the pre-med curriculum. The most important aspect of having Dr. Lewis as my Advisor was her honest feedback. She kept me on track and made sure I kept my grades up. One of my fondest memories was when I finally got one of Dr. Lewis’ famous “high fives” for reporting good grades after finals. During my junior year at SDSU, I decided to study abroad in Sweden. I chose Sweden first because of my Swedish heritage (paternal grandparents), and second because many courses at Swedish Universities are taught in English. I was very nervous, but Dr. Lewis was supportive of my decision. Needless to say, my semester in Sweden changed my life. I took the semester off from my biology major to study Swedish language. I met hundreds of other international students from around the world, and truly had one of the best experiences of my life. Upon returning to my last year at SDSU, I became more passionate about genetics and molecular biology than medicine. I also found myself longing to go abroad again. Coincidently, a former Swedish classmate contacted me about a new International Masters program in Cell and Molecular Biology opening at Uppsala University, one of the oldest universities in Sweden. Without much hesitation, I applied and was accepted for fall 2006. I earned my MS in 2007, and was subsequently accepted into Uppsala’s PhD program in Molecular Medicine in 2008. At the time, several new technologies for sequencing whole genomes became available, making it possible to analyze clinical samples genome-wide. The huge amount of data generated by the sequencers required new types of large-scale data analysis and bioinformatics skills, skills I didn’t have. Learning my first programming language was one of the most difficult obstacles I’ve overcome; it was much more difficult than learning Swedish! Today, I can happily say that I am fluent in both Swedish and several programming languages. I defended my thesis in 2012, and am currently working as a scientist at Uppsala University Hospital. Today, I work with a diverse group of pediatric oncologists, clinical geneticists, and computational biologists to investigate the etiology of acute pediatric leukemias. Specifically, I am investigating the genetic and epigenetic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics) changes that occur in leukemic cells using genome-wide approaches. My research has been incredibly rewarding http://www.molmed.medsci.uu.se/, http://genomebiology.com/2013/14/9/r105 and I have maintained the close connection with medicine that drew me into the biological sciences in the first place. |
